“The Sustainability of the Relationship with Strategic Suppliers”,
Dr Laurent Jehanin, Vice President Purchasing Strategy and Support |
| |
|
For key strategic suppliers, the customer-supplier relationship is extremely strong and long term.
To improve purchasing performance through only supplier price decrease, could have dramatic effects: supplier margin squeeze, R&D decrease, financial trouble…
Two possible consequences: |
- Many suppliers will disappear
- Powerful surviving suppliers will emerge through mergers and acquisitions and will become more powerful than their customers.
|
For this very limited suppliers category, the only sustainable model is to
Improve the value creation of the whole supply chain before taking its share.
This presentation will explore one segment of the economical pillar of
Sustainability (along environment protection and social responsibility) from
well known approaches like supplier development to less explored, like
branch restructuring. |

“Greening the enterprise”, Vel Dhinagaravel, CEO |
| |
|
- Benchmarking
How does your supply chain’s carbon footprint compare with that of your competition? How can you use a lower carbon footprint as a competitive differentiator?
- Supply Chain Red Footprint
It is also important to map a footprint of your value chain, which is colour coded to indicate the areas that contribute the most to the carbon footprint
Mitigation plans then need to be put in place to eliminate the “red-spots”
- Carbon Tax Calculator
It is also important to calculate the potential impact of different proposed carbon taxes on the cost of your key input categories (this could be as high as 12% for some categories)

“ Creating Value in a Green Supply Chain”, Dr Nicolas
Reinecke, Principal |
| |
|
For every CPO one of the most pressing topics of today are the sky-
rocketing prices for energy and raw materials. In addition to that, the
climate change has induced regulators to introduce stricter regulation,
which will impose further costs to emission sources and to energy
throughout the supply chain. Finally the ongoing public debate about
the climate change and other environmental topics makes consumers
rethink their spending behaviour. In today’s markets it has become
essential for every company to show environmental stewardship and to
ensure good environmental performance of their products. Going
forward companies have to react quickly to avoid to become squeezed
between rising input costs from the supply chain and eroding sales due
to changing consumer behaviour.
Increasing energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions
requires a substantial effort. Companies have to invest in creating data
transparency on energy costs and emissions, they have to adapt
processes to strengthen cross-functional work on energy efficiency and
they have to build up the required expertise.
A key tool to create transparency is extending existing TCO-analysis
to cover energy costs and CO2 emissions.
Engaging with suppliers and analising their operational and energetic
performance reveals that many levers to increase energy efficiency
exist, especially in the areas of assembly and logistics. |
